I found you in a basement
Halloween of my eighth year
Spoke the incantation and went home
The tossing and the turning
The screaming and the burning
Worried 'bout it working
Barely slept at all

It's hard to track the passing of the path I have been on
But I found you in a fear and later found the fear was gone

And time has been kind to me
And life has meant everything

I found you in a basement
With hair gel in my bangs
Building up a bank of several chords
The hoping and the yearning
The right answer learning
A bundle of emerging in search of a mold

It's hard to track the passing of the path I have been on
But I found you in a feeling and you stayed when it was gone

And time has been kind to me
And life has meant everything

I found you in a knowing
that so hoped to come to blows
So I went off to college
Tried to major in control
But instead of a weapon
I found a telescope
I found you in a knowing
Later on in I don't know

And time has been kind to me
And life has meant everything

Yeah time has been kind to me
And life has meant everything
